A Picture On a Cafe Wall

A Picture on a Café Wall 

A farmer and his mule are kicking 
up dust on their way to Messines.

The mule has very long ears and 
the farmer wears a big, black hat.

 Side by side they walk the yonder 
yet, they have time to get there. 

The road is asphalted now, and 
dust settles on the grassy verge.

Abbey Road

It looks to me like the iconic photo was shot on a Sunday
Behind an abbey that was soundless with loud prayers
The traffic was more human than mechanical
On the broad, asphalted spine of a skinned, dead zebra
Where four men created a useful, eye-catching scene
With their stern military march of youthful legs,
Coming together, yet drifting solemnly apart,
Each carrying that weight of something serious.
